The Wedding, Close Encounters of the Gypsy Kind is a story about Gypsies from Central Europe who, persecuted in their homelands of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, have found refuge in New Zealand. They now live in a multicultural society where there is supposedly no prejudice against them. However, they have to cope with new challenges and their own new prejudices...
The Wedding is a film based centered around the wedding of a young Gypsy refugee man and an indigenous Maori woman in New Zealand.
However, the film is about much more than just a literal wedding. It explores the metaphorical idea of a “wedding” between contrasting cultures; documenting the “close encounters” of Gypsies with New Zealanders as well as with other minorities in New Zealand, such as Indians and Chinese.
This is a timeless documentary about refuge, humanity, idealism, multiculturalism, and above all – love and home.
